Abstract:

Through the study of Confucian classics and the practice of social ceremony，Confucian scholars completed their
preliminary political socialization，then they passed the imperial examinations into the literary intelligentsia and eventually
became a loyal member of the bureaucratic system. Such political socialization process fully explained the internal supporting
factors of the super-stable structure of ancient Chinese society. We can also get at the roots in the process of why the modern
Chinese society is so weak that the Chinese civilization cannot withstand the impact of western civilization. Through studies
about the political socialization of the Confucian scholar class，we can find the role，the function and the externality of the
“Confucian scholar—scholar-bureaucrat—bureaucracy”structure in generating and maintaining the super stable structure of the
patriarchal clan integration in ancient Chinese society. On such basis，we discuss the value and paradox of the Confucius’theory
of state (political Confucianism)，which serves as the national ideology and the Confucian ethics (cultural Confucianism)，which
serves as the operation principles of everyday life，trying to uncover something worth absorbing in Confucianism to enhance
the weakening influence of traditional culture. We believe that，when taking reference from the political socialization of the
Confucian scholar class，we can eventually build up a reasonable political morality system by mixing modern political ethic
and the spirit of the rule of law into the large-scale，diffusing political socialization of modern society.
